10 years in IT altogether with 7 of that as a Java web app dev and currently in my 3rd year of integration design / integration development. I've thought about this a number of times and I always come back to the same conclusion: I would have spent less time in a position where I wasn't advancing. I got settled it and while the work was enjoyable, it also wasn't overly challenging. I think I would have reviewed my growth more often, say every 18 months and looked for other opportunities if I felt I was getting complacent. I spent 3 years at IBM doing maintenance work of a CRUD app starting in 2008. Android was just coming out. I should have jumped into it with more gusto. I've been at my current gig for 14 months now and I'm learning a lot every day. I do little coding these days at work, but do a bit at home just because I still enjoy it.
